Israel paving asphalt road along Philadelphi Corridor: war monitors

The Israeli military is paving an asphalt road along a section of the Gaza Strip’s southern border with Egypt, according to satellite imagery analysed by two US-based war monitors.

“Paving the Philadelphi Corridor will make it harder for Palestinian militias to plant improvised explosive devices (IED) along it,” the Critical Threats Project and Institute for Study of War report.

Not having the IDF there will make it pointless to plant IEDs along the corridor... Seems the IDF is dead set on staying there.


Palestinians suffering from lack of water, hygiene kits: MSF

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is distributing emergency sanitation units in the Gaza Strip amid a deteriorating situation for the approximately 90 percent of the enclave’s population that is forcibly displaced due to Israeli attacks.

“We live a very difficult life like the rest of the displaced. There’s a lack of water, bathrooms, difficulty getting food and other necessities,” said Shahd Abu Samra, a young displaced woman from north Gaza.

“There’s a lack of hygiene kits, making them difficult to find. When available, they are very expensive.”

Israeli strike in Gaza kills nine members of the same family

An Israeli strike on a residential building in central Gaza has killed nine members of the same family, as Israel’s punishing assault on the Strip continues to decimate families.

“These are Israel’s goals!” Osama al-Taweel told reporters next to a hospital morgue, where five dead babies wrapped in bloodied shrouds were among the victims.

The Associated Press reported that medics at the al-Awda Hospital said that a pregnant woman was also killed in the strike, along with her unborn child.

Al-Awda Hospital is struggling to accommodate dozens of patients. Many of them are seeking assistance after being forced to leave the larger Al-Aqsa Hospital earlier this week after Israeli authorities placed that facility under evacuation orders.
